My husband and I were talking the other day about our lack of fun friends. We have one couple that we're very close with and have been friends for 10 years, but they're not really fun and although we see them often for dinner and drinking we can't do so many of the other activities we like with them because they are home bodies and they also can't be spontaneous because they have kids. In addition we can't really relate to them, they are so different and it's more of our history that keeps us close. Outside of them we have a few social friends that we see from time to time, but we haven't bonded with them. For a while there we had friends that we hung with all of the time and we had a blast, but then they had a baby and that changed everything. I now find myself longing for "fun friends" to hang with. I think I'm driving my husband nuts. I want to meet people who are fun, and that we can really build a good relationship with. People I truly long to spend time with, not people that we see becomes we're bored and feel the need to socialize. I guess the older you get the more precious your time becomes the more selfish you get with that time and the harder it is to find people you can bond with because you just don't see each other enough. I think that once I have kids it will be easier since it seems everyone our age has a family and I just can't relate to them right now, they are in a different place. I'm wondering if I'm unrealistic in my need to find some special friends...and no I don't mean like that. We have several good friends and many acquantances to do things with, but I just feel like something is missing and it's something that I had not too long ago with my other friends who have since gone off in another direction. Is what I'm longing for unrealistic....it's like I want fun "college" friends and I'm far from college age. People are busy and don't have time for much more than dinner, not hiking, wandering to the coast, any of that. They do those things, but as far as schedules jiving I think it's hard. How social is everyone here at Pixies? Do I just think everyone else is having more fun socializing than they really are and I'm not really missing anything in my life?
